My theory is, this is why Google doesn't care abt search anymore. It doesn't matter what is on the second result page. Let the arms race for the first couple results on any subject sort search out init? The rest will putrify away with time and the entire useful internet will shrink back to something that will likely fit on some future multi terrabyte drive. Just like DNA. Data centers/the cloud will shutter and rust away just as most manufacturing plants have... Already today most of the largest text datasets available anywhere fit easily on your grandmoms iPad and fully searchable. You can see the guys who run search at Google or Facebook or Amazon or Microsoft etc don't have as much influence on these firms as they once did. We went from info scarcity to info overload thanks to the info age. Now we are going through a period where we work out what we don't need and never have needed. Journalism and news in an environment of info overload are incapable structurally of reducing the amount of info in the world. Therefore their end is near.
